Happy Times
Surprisingly, there was only one turtle sunning on this log. There was a shaded area off to the right with a few smaller logs sticking out of the water where there were lots of turtles crammed together trying to get the little bit of sunshine able to penetrate the surrounding brush and overhead trees.
About the time I spotted them they suddenly disappeared. Then my sister pointed out two kayaks coming around the bend which probably spooked them, because the fellow in this shot also vanished.
